Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.

In the last hour, we heard a bit about transparency from one of the big grocers.

Mr. McCann, I'm going to ask you this question.

We heard them talk a lot about transparency issues, or lack thereof. I'm wondering whether you can elaborate on this for the committee. Is Canada as transparent as other countries—say, our neighbour, the U.S.—when it comes to the value chains and supply chains in the food and agriculture industry?
